The 100th Grey Cup Festival begins tomorrow and runs until Sunday, Nov. 25 with fantastic events taking place throughout downtown Toronto for this milestone year. And — as a gift back to the city — there are more free events than any Grey Cup Festival ever. Organizers say Grey Cup events will be held at locations such as Yonge-Dundas Square, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Nathan Philips Square, Front St and more.

Of course food is an important part of the Grey Cup, and to celebrate, the festival is offering several venues where people can experience delicious food, including the High Octane Food Zone at Nathan Philips Square, where there will be diverse items like venison chili, B.C. sockeye salmon, maple encrusted glazed pork loin sandwiches, and East Coast fish tacos all for the low price of $5. If you plan on taking the family to the Nissan Family Zone at Yonge-Dundas Square, Urban Eatery from the Eaton Centre will be on hand to offer freshly prepared foods from the upscale vendors featured there, including Smoke’s Poutinerie, Marc Angelo and more. If all this wasn’t enough to satisfy your palate, the TELUS Street Festival will have six award-winning ribbers courtesy of Canada’s Largest Ribfest, along with many other food selections to satisfy any appetite.

To cap it all off, renowned chefs Rob Gentile and Mark McEwan will be providing the menu for the ground-breaking Scotiabank 100th Grey Cup Gala to be held on the field of Rogers Centre.
